Hard drive failing showing the blue screen

Dear Toshiba technical support,
I have a Toshiba notebook Satellite L305-S5875 for few months, and it's still in warranty. It shutted down suddenly showing the blue screen saying "physical memory dump...". I tried to restart me computer, but it does the same thing. I tried to reinstall the vista operational system, but it processed half way, then returned to blue screen again. It seems to me that the hard drive is completely failed. Could you please show me how to fix this problem?
Thank you very much
Best,
Truc Do

The blue screen error happens when RAM details are dumped into a file. This may be caused by a hardware in the computer. It is possible that the newly installed hardware is not compatible to run in your system. Memory stick problem can also be one of the causes of this error. Sometimes starting your Windows in safe mode will do the trick. To do this, press F8 while your computer is starting up. Then choose safe mode option among the list.

I have a PB G4 that won't start. It shows the gray apple screen, shows the blue screen, and then the screen goes black, and "sleep" light pulses.

I have a PB G4 that won't start. It shows the gray apple screen, shows the blue screen, and then goes black. The sleep light pulses. From there, I can't turn it off normally. I have tried restarting the PMU. And I have tried unplugging the ac adaptor and removing the battery. From there I have plugged only the ac adaptor in, and it will begin to start but do the same thing once it shows the blue screen.
I tried only using the battery (without plugging in the ac adaptor) and the same thing happens. I tried starting the computer while holding down CTRL, Option, P, and R, waiting to hear the start up chimes 3 times, and then holding Shift as it starts up. But I still get the black screen once I see the blue one, and the computer's sleep light pulses.
I need something very important from this computer. And was able to start it last night. I did not shut down the computer, and was going to take it to a friends to use his printer today. The computer was in sleep mode in the morning.
Thanks for any help!

What your describing could be a logic board or memory issue.
You did or did not hear 3 startup chimes? If you hear 3 chimes when you start it, that would indicate a memory problem. Try reseating the memory to see if that makes a difference. If you have 2 RAM cards, try one then the other in each slot. If you have 1 RAM card, move it to the other slot. Powerbooks can develop one bad slot.
You may need to pull the hard drive out of the Powerbook, put it into an external case, then read it from another mac.

In the article Resolve iOS update and restore errors this is what it says about error 14:
Check your USB connections
Related errors: 13, 14, 1600, 1601, 1602, 1603, 1604, 1611, 1643-1650, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, 4005, 4013, 4014, or “invalid response."
If the USB connection between your device and computer is interrupted, you may be unable to update or restore.
To narrow down the issue, you can also change up your hardware:
Use the USB cable that came with your device, or a different Apple USB cable.
Plug your cable into a different USB port directly on your computer. Don't plug it into your keyboard.
Try a different computer.
If necessary, resolve any further issues with the USB connection, then with your security software.
If you're still seeing the error message, check for hardware issues by following the next section.

NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

Try resetting the SMC

If it has a removable battery, try removing the battery.
If neither works, then you may need to bring it in for service. Bring the power adapter as well, as you may be able to determine if it is the power adapter at fault, or the computer's power supply.

How do I make the photos on my external hard drive appear in the iPhoto screen

I recently had my hard drive "wiped" at the Apple store to speed it up. In the process I lost a lot which I am now restoring. Prior to the wipe the photos stored in my EHD appeared in the iPhoto screen by default. I have lost that and don't know how to restore it
Thanx for any help
poppi

Are they in an iPhoto Library?
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
If not: import them.

Alias Hard Drives out of the blue and Trash removal

In advance , Thank you ! You guys are doing a great service
All of a sudden I have two hard drives and two external drives on my desktop. They have the little arrow on the bottom left corner and I think they are Aliases . They just appeared after being online . I dragged them to the Trash thinking they would unmount but they are still in the Trash.
1st) Any ideas on what is going on hear?
2nd) I've never deleted selected items from the Trash . If I highlight certain items and select Empty Trash will the other items be saved ?

They have the little arrow on the bottom left corner and I think they are AliasesProbably. Why not use "Get Info" from the Finder File menu (or Command-I) to find out?
If I highlight certain items and select Empty Trash will the other items be saved ?No. Emptying the Trash is an all or nothing act.

I use the latest Firefox 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. After a day I updated my Adobe Flash Player, suddenly it crashed and showed a blue screen. Please help me.

My Firefox version is 13.0.1. I'm using Windows 7. Adobe Flash Player version is 11.3.300.265. A few minutes after opened the Firefox, suddenly it crashed and a blue screen showed up, it says there are unexpected error occured and forced my computer to be stopped. I need to restart the computer to see either it still show the blue screen or it just fine. After restarted, I use the Firefox once again, but this time, after about 30 minutes, it crashed again. The same blue screen showed up. As I expected, the new Adobe Flash Update crashes with the Firefox 13.0.1. Really need a solution here. Thank you.

Hi,
Blue screens usually indicate Windows system level problems involving device drivers like graphics card drivers, hardware errors (RAM, hard drive) etc. Malware may also cause this. Searching for the displayed error code would usually provide helpful pointers. The [http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us Windows forum] would also be helpful.

My hard drive failed and I can't afford the professional data recovery. Do I have any other options?

I have a 13" Early 2011 Macbook Pro. Last week the hard drive failed (for the second time), and when I took it to the Apple Store I was told it would cost $177 to replace the hard drive and the cables. I intend on going through with this and getting it fixed, however the man I talked to said I should hold on to it a little longer before giving it to them for repair in case I want to recover my data. When I researched how to recover the data, my answers mostly consisted of taking it to a professional to do so. I found a local authorized service provider who said they could do so, however I was told it would cost at least $400 to recover my data (possibly more depending on how much data there is to recover).
I can afford to pay $177 to fix the hard drive. I cannot, however, afford to pay an additional $400+ to get all of my data back. Yes I realize I should have backed my files up onto an external hard drive (I'm not the most computer-savvy person), but honestly, all I really need is my photos. When my hard drive was in the process of failing, I got a flash drive and put a lot of my files onto it so I would at least have some of them when I got my Macbook fixed. At this point, I can't even turn it on, so I am not able to go into iPhoto and get my pictures.
Is there any way I can do this myself? There is no way I can get this done professionally. I would love to be able to all of my data and files back, but if I can just get some that is better than nothing. Any help would be appreciated!

It was really empty. Clicked on, nothing.
But no prohibited signs, like these:
Get info on folder, zero kb. Just one user account on each mac.
I did navigate back several days prior to my Mac dying. Still nothing.
Sounds like it may have been excluded, or perhaps damaged.
Just for future reference, it's always a good idea to keep "secondary" backups. See #27 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for some suggestions.

Portege M200 - hard drive failed

My 60GB Toshiba hard drive failed in my Portege M200.
I tried fitting a hard drive I had in my old laptop a 30GB Hitachi hard drive but the laptop doesnt seem to recognise it. Does it need a Toshiba hard drive or is the laptop dead, when I put the hard drive in I get invalid boot disk message.
The old hard drive goes to a blue screen then reboots laptop.

No it must not be Toshiba HDD only. I found the list of some compatible HDDs for this old Portege.
You can use follow HDDs:
- TOSHIBA HDD2193B
- TOSHIBA HDD2171B
- TOSHIBA HDD2184B
- TOSHIBA HDD2194B
- HITACHI G8BC00014410
- HITACHI G8BC00014610
- HITACHI G8BC00015610
- HITACHI G8BC00014810
Anyway, when you try to use new HDD set BIOS to default settings and check if new HDD will be recognized properly in BIOS settings.
Is old HDD recognized properly in BIOS settings?
Have you tried to install OS using old HDD?

Mac mini hard drive crashed. The ecovery drive only offers to reinstall mavericks on the recovery drive. Doesn't see the hard drive. What can I do?

Hi, I have a mid-2011 with Mavericks installed. It crashed. I can boot into recovery mode. And it shows me the name of the hard drive and the recovery partition. When I boot back to the hard drive, it gives the grey screen and a long progress bar. WHen the progress bar eventually fills up, the computer just shuts down. In recovery mode, Disk Utility says the hard disk cannot be repaired.
But when I try to re-install Mavericks from the Recovery Partition, it only shows the recovery partition as the destination, not the rest of the computer.
Not sure what to do.
Thanks if anyone has any advice.
J

Thank you very much for the reply.
Indeed, Disk Utility can't even erase and reformat the drive. It's toast.
This is very disappointing. Second Mac Mini I've had go out this year. First seems to be a logic board issue. Now the hard drive on the newer machine.
At least I was able to use Disk Drill to get photos and other important files off the Mini. I had a Time Capsule, but last year, it too died (just a few months out of warranty).
One further question, if you don't mind. If I'm just going to replace the HD on the mini, I'm not sure why one would do this step that you suggested: "get a new HD, put it in an enclosure or use another method that allows the HD to be connect to the Min. Then boot to the recovery partition and install Mavericks on the new HD."
Also, maybe I can replace the drive on the mini myself. Maybe get an SSD for it? They seem more reliable.
Thanks again for taking the time to answer me.

Brand new hard drive failed - is it me?!

Hello (Kate HS's other half here)
I recently had to replace the HD on our iMac (the original one failed more or less on it's second birthday)
I fitted a 250gb Hitachi drive about a month ago, restored data from backups and everything seemed great, until tonight...
I was watching TV via Eye TV when the computer froze - and when i forced shut down and restarted I was greeted by a blinking question mark. Booted from Disk First Aid and it couldn't see the HD. Hardware test shows " 2STF/1/4 " error.
Could it be that something other than HD could be causing this - or some other fault is destroying hard drives? (first time i had warning noises and regular crashes for a few days, this time there was nothing - instant death)
Could I have done something wrong when fitting it?
Or what are the odds of having 2 hard drives fail in the space of a month..?
Hope you can help.

To Apple Discussions!
Since your HD is only a month old it should still be under warranty. I would contact the manufacturer and/or get a new one.
In case it's not the HD, see your computer comes under the following program since you have an 20" G5 iMac. Hopefully, it's a Rev B:

My win8 pc hard drive failed. After the hard drive was replaced, I copied iTunes Media backupfiles from external hard drive (Karen's Replicator backup software was used). ITunes does not recognize these back up files even though the location is the same as cloud & recently burned music that does show- help! The backup files consist of 34,000+ songs; almost all burned from my own CD collection. I do have most of the songs on an ipod classic but hesitate to try to restore from that. Can someone tell me how to get these 34,000 songs to show up in iTunes? Thanks!!

This diagram shows how a typical iTunes library ought to be set out (click on it to enlarge)
The red outline highlights the media folder and its contents, the various subfolders are only created if that kind of content is in your library. The right-hand side shows the files that should be found in the iTunes library folder; sentinel is normally hidden so may not be visible. The core of your iTunes library is the file iTunes Library.itl, you need to restore this, the other library files and the Album Artwork folder, as well as the media folder, to restore your library.
